Event co-host, Jackie Baillie MSP, said: “I would like to pass on my warmest congratulations to all the new Vision Schools for their outstanding work in Holocaust education. Vision Schools Scotland is a brilliant initiative that educates future generations about the horrors of the Holocaust in order to ensure that it never happens again. The programme has gone from strength to strength over the years and plays an important role in school-based Holocaust education. I would encourage all schools to sign up to the programme to get involved in this important work.”
